I read a lot of good things about LXC and how it was better for such things when I was starting my selfhosting journey an year or so ago. Immich was my need of the hour but I could not find any tutorials to get it done back then and now I know why. Being good and being accessible for noobs are two different things.
I think a Pi is an overkill for this. If I were to attempt this, i would try getting it done with an ESP8266 module which uses far less power, making the battery last much longer. Bootup and shutdown times would be much less so using coin cells or supercapacitors charged using small solar panels could also be used. If your home is not too far (few km), using LoRa could eliminate dependency on the WiFi. Cool use case, nonetheless!
Someone please just create an easy to follow DIY front light using diffused LED strip for my old kindle and I'm good for another decade. My Kindle even has power out pins on the back to make it easy.
Sadly, strawberry season is gone where I am and I can't wait to try this out. This year, i discovered that coriander goes very well with strawberries to make pesto. I ate 10 times more strawberries this year than my previous average.
If you are going the phone way and care to make the battery last longer, you can also install an app that keeps waiting to receive a keyword by SMS, upon receiving which it turns the GPS on, locates itself and sends the location back by SMS. It has dual benefit of not needing a data pack and making the battery last longer since the GPS or data is not on constantly. On the down side it'll be tough to do live tracking by this approach.
These are just two links that came up using a basic search to do this. There are multiple listings on f-droid to help you not just get location but control the phone remotely over SMS.
I've only tried edible cannabis a few times but one of the fun things is the feeling of epiphany once you realise something when you're high. It could be a mundane thought otherwise, but when you have that thought in the high state, it just feels so mind boggling. Your message makes me wish someone told me this while I was high.
I'm really sad VR went the way it did over the past decade. I was blown away with the simplicity and affordability of it when Google Cardboard launched. The standalone VR devices of today could have been just our current phones put inside head mounted brackets: easily available to most of us for cheap.
Besides gaming, VR has loads of cool educational uses. I find myself repeatedly going back to Google Earth VR on my Vive just to explore (both in 3D and street view mode) random places that I might never visit in real life.
Lol, i was going to post the same question one of these days. I too am almost on the same version and I was hoping some kind soul would help me out.
On top of it I'm not very well versed with docker backups so I'm doubly scared. What I am going to do is to take a mirror image of my whole OS drive in my zfs mount that I use as backup, give a release notes a glance and go YOLO based on what I can make out.
